About The Position

Launch Potato is seeking a hands-on partnerships and business development professional to grow existing banking, deposit, and investing partnerships and bring on new partners. Approximately 70–80% of the role focuses on expanding existing partners through larger budgets, improved economics, and broader distribution; the remaining work focuses on new business, primarily through warm relationships, with outbound prospecting especially for investing partners. The role works alongside the Head of Partnerships, who focuses on the largest strategic partners. The Senior Account Manager owns operational work for those strategic accounts and has full operational and strategic ownership of other banking, deposit, and investing partners. The position connects partner goals to placements across FinanceBuzz and Launch Potato’s publisher network, contributes to strategy in categories that are still developing, and works toward independent partner ownership after an initial transition period. Launch Potato is a discovery and conversion company whose brands include FinanceBuzz, All About Cookies, and OnlyInYourState. It describes itself as profitable and bootstrapped, with a South Florida headquarters and a remote-first team across 18 countries. The company emphasizes ownership of outcomes, impact, direct and respectful feedback, and adapting to change. The stated base compensation is $150,000–$170,000, determined by level and expertise based on initial interviews. An annual bonus is tied to company EBITDA and personal performance; there is no commission.
